Did any of you ever have a profound insight to the oneness of the universe? You have had these glimpses of absolute freedom, absolute divinity, absolute truth, oneness, you had life completely figured out, you saw how it is all a huge play.Can this truth ever disappear? Is there a reason you do not see the divinity right now? Are you sure that divinity is not right now, here with you, within you, and these are merely thoughts saying you are not that?
Do you remember all these glimpses which you have experienced, do you remember what is in common with all of them?
Silence. Silence, the ego was nowhere to be seen, like it vanished. It vanished, and then truth, that silence was revealed. Can the ego actually block the silence? is the ego not arising IN silence? if there was no silence, could the ego be? If the truth was not, could the ego be?
You already know, that you can be without thoughts. Yet thoughts can't be without you. This means, that the truth is present in this moment right now. Every moment, always was, always is and always will be. So why do these glimpses "Disappear" and you suddenly lose that feeling of divinity, you lose the clarity? Let me ask you this, did you ever CREATE this experience, that you can LOSE it? Losing it mean that you won it, or achieved it somehow. Is that true? Can you lose something that was never won, never achieved?
Can you lose your true nature, can you lose your heart, can you lose your presence? What is actually happening is that thoughts come back into your perceiving after this glimpse of truth, of silence. Isnt it? So what do we do when thoughts come around again? Are we totally powerless, are we doomed? Well, can mere thoughts overpower the truth? Is that even possible? Can mere thoughts make you lose your self? Of course not. I will tell you what they CAN do, with your consent.
They can arise in a way that will make you BELIEVE that they can overpower the truth, they will make you THINK that you are powerless, they make you THINK that you have no clarity. So thoughts have a power only if you actually believe them and identify as them. If you give thoughts your power, of course it will seem like they are absolutely incredible and strong! But, who is the one giving them the power? Thoughts are powerless by themselves. This is just more proof of how fucking powerful YOU (the true self) is!
Just by believing and identifying with A SINGLE THOUGHT you can experience it fully from that perspective of a thought, and you can even make a thought seem like it is stronger than you, the one perceiving the thought, the one who gave the power to the thought it self! So you now know, that YOU, the divinity, the silence are allowing thoughts to have power over you. What can the divine do in order to break this illusion? well, you merely need to SEE it. You need awareness of your self, of the divinity, the self, the silence. You need to be aware that you ARE that truth.
If I ask you, where is the truth? will you tell me to go south, or west, or east? is it up or down? Can it be anywhere else than within you? if it is within you, where is it actually, is it hiding? The only possible explanation, is that you are the truth, and you simply believe that you are not the truth! The truth believes and identifies as a person, as thoughts, as ideas, as concepts. The truth will inevitably lose sight of it self, as it is not aware that it is infact, the truth!
You look at thoughts, feelings, sensations as if they are of great importance! greater importance than your self! OF COURSE you will forget who you are. It wouldn't make any sense otherwise. So the solution, I am offering you now, is to simply be aware of your self. Be aware of your self as the divinity, be aware of your self as the silence, be aware of your self as the truth. You ARE. So you are the truth, but thoughts still come and say you are not. What do we do?
Well, this whole time we believed these thoughts to be true, there is only one option left! Do not believe, or identify with any thoughts anymore! KNOW that you are the truth! If thoughts come and say "You are not the truth, you have to experience some kind of huge breakthrough, you are lying to your self" because it really IS tricky like that, it will do everything with the power you previously gave it, to manipulate you and make you feel powerless again. Do not worry, because no matter what tricks it has up its sleeves, the truth cant be overpowered. Simply know you are.
If you know you are the truth, you do not need to believe anyone saying you are not, including your own mind it self! Just know this, seriously you do not need to do anything else, you are already that. It is effortless! You can never NOT be the truth, you can only THINK you are not the truth. It will seem real, but it is a bluff.
